Liverpool, 1937. Jessica is married to Bertie, a mean, patronising man who she has stayed with purely for the sake of her two young children. To make up for the love and passion that is missing from her life, she spends the occasional afternoon at the local cinema, lost in romantic films. But when an unexpected glass of champagne is offered to her in a Liverpool hotel, the consequences turn out to be shattering. When Bertie discovers his wife's deceit, he is ruthless in his revenge. He sells their house and disappears with her beloved children, leaving Jessica devastated and alone. Will she be able to make a life for herself, despite her broken heart?

" Great book. Hard to stop listening (had it on Audible). I wasn't thrilled with the way it ended. Kind of felt like everything wasn't filled in completely. But would highly recommend. "
